"I can accept failure, everyone fails at something, but I can't accept not trying." - M. Jordan

i once said that I would shoot at the ODST when I get the game, but just for fun. I got critisized for saying that, but now don't think that that is a bad Idea. In the fall of reach the ODST practicaly try and kill John 117 when he was just 14...wtf is up with that. Don't you think the ODST deserve to be put in their place...again?

Ackerson is the basically the boss (or a big part of) of the ODST's, and Ackerson is extrememly jealous of Hasley's Spartans, well he thinks his ODST's are better anyway. If you think that part is bad, just wait till you read what happens when John and Cortana first meet (or get paired together).

Yes it happens in tFoR, and if your thinking that guy from Halo:CE with the scar is Ackerson, thats not him. If you havent learned about him yet then you will be getting ready to shortly. Ackerson is one of the, I guess you could say "top dogs" in the UNSC, but he's not the "top dog", if you know what I mean.

So I am guessing they don't like each other at first, Cortona and the MC.

No, they like eachother just fine. Ackerson basically does something to try and prove that his ODST's are better, but I dont want to spoil it for you, so go read.

The books are definitly worth reading.

In my opinion, knowing the story adds to the campain.

Read the flood, Silva didnt like the MC because of many reasons, one was that some helljumpers were ordered to go start a fight with him, as a test of his spartan skills, he killed some of them i think and was congratulated after the fight, he had passed the test. At least thats what major silva said.

If you kill the ODSTs in Halo 2 they will probably turn on you and shoot you like the Marines did in Halo CE.

But arent the marines in Halo CE ODST's? In The Flood they never mention any other marines but ODST's.

so you're saying that you're going to kill random ODST's because another member of thier military branch attempted to kill MC when he was 14? You do know how ignorant that sounds don't you?

Don't get me wrong, unless the marines or ODST's have some stellar AI and are a great aid to have around I do see myself using them as nothing more than portable weapon caches. But to try to attempt to make a logical justification to kill a certain type of allied NPC in a video game is pretty over-the-top. Especially when it's a poorly thought out one.

The Marines you play with aren't ODST they are just regualr Marines like the Sarge. In the Flood ODSTs were talked about a lot, but there were still regular Marines at Alpha Base.

Oooh ok thanks. But the armor the ODST's have in Halo 2 arent what they normally wear right? It was modeled after the Mjolnir armor im guessing. Thinking about it, Ackerson was snooping around Dr. Halseys files so maybe he has something to do with the ODST armor that looks quite a bit like the Mjolnir. Tis just a thought

I don't believe Col. Ackerson is in command of the ODST. As stated in the books, Ackerson is Dr. Halsey's rival. Who wouldn't want their rivals project to fail? And who wouldn't sabotage their rival's projects.
The ODSTs don't like the Spartan-IIs because they feel the Navy is stealing their turf.
CPO Mendez had the ODSTs attack John-117 to test the Spartan's new augmentations.
